October is designated as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month (NDVAM).

Within the LGBTQ+ community, domestic violence and abuse (DVA) is referred to as Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (IPV/A).

In recognition, WYATTEVANS.COM is presenting a series of articles on the history of NDVAM, what IPV/A is and its ramifications, my story, and how a survivor made his “Great Escape.”

Visit http://www.wyattevans.com/ipva for resources and information to make your “Great Escape.”

And always remember: It ain’t  “It’s just the way he/she loves me!”    

It COULD be that he/she “Is lovin’ you to death.”
